Hotels in the Gambia

Amazing hotel in a excellent location (close to Senegambia strip, but separated from the touristy madness). The owner himself designed everything, from concrete to curtains, and takes special care of the guests personally (he even upgraded our room because of some mixup with the airport taxi). The style and design of the room and the whole hotel transported us back in time, however the facilities (kitchen, bathroom) were very modern and up-to-date. All the staff were very kind and helpful. 100% recommended!

We had an amazing experience at Dabo house... It was just the perfect stay for my family. The rooms are large, the beds are huge and comfortable, the place is spotless, they have all the facilities you can ask for - air con, fans, mosquito nets, bins, plenty of bedding/towels... The Breakfast was included and delicious - pancakes, eggs, bread, local jams, fresh fruit, local fruit juices. With such a hearty breakfast, we skipped lunch sometimes! Salif, the caretaker is the loveliest person you can meet - he will go out of his way to do anything to make your visit comfortable.... and he is an excellent cook if you want dinner at a low cost. The beach is about a 15 minute walk and if you go just after noon, you might catch a fisherman returning with his catch - twice we bought fresh fish and had it cooked - delicious! The sandy beach is clean - we walked one way all the way to Ghanatown and the other way to Bijilo beach. Next door to the house is a bakery making fresh bread - try it! Walking distance to the shops too. The swimming pool was clean and refreshing. I cannot fault the place in any way!

Beautiful setting with a really lovely pool and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is excellent too.

😊 "Thank you so much for your warm welcome! 😊 The place is truly beautiful and clean; we felt right at home. The people are incredibly kind—Fatou, Yahya, and my Malian friend—thank you for your hospitality! 🙏"

I liked the staff very much. They were very warm and more than made up for inadequacies that one expects in hotels in low resource settings. The location is very close to the Atlantic ocean and the view from the balcony is stunning.

Everything I will come back definitely. Staff and Al team really polite.

Clean rooms and towels, great food (we had breakfast included), lovely swimming pool, friendly staff, perfect location on the beach

I liked the location, which was close to the place where you can book bird-watching tours. There were bird-watching platforms. You could order a taxi with the option to have it wait for up to two hours. The staff were very helpful.

I loved everything about the Resort especially the staff. I remember Amina and Sam. It was my birthday and they all sang for me. The pool dating rooms are the best. And the jollof is so good

Quiet and secluded. Small hotel, great service. It is a little old, but newly painted and clean. AC and hot shower worked perfect. Beach approximity is great. Fun, BIG waves. You don’t swim but tumble (not for small children). Hardly any people at the beach or at the hotel’s pool which is also kept very clean. But plenty of beach bars/cafes. And beautiful sunsets. Hardly any bugs, but there is also no humidity as such in February. We enjoyed the balcony with ocean view during siestas. Paula, Bibi and the rest of the staff were so kind and helpful with tours, use of paypal and late check out. Despite the small size of the hotel, the kitchen was open all day till 9 pm, with a rather large menu card. It is not 5 European standard stars, but definitely 5 African stars. I loved our stay and highly recommend it to anyone.

Really beautiful and well tended to.

I've stayed in many hotels around Gambia and Coco Ocean is the best. It just speaks luxury from the spa to the rooms to the staff and cuisine I booked the deluxe Seaview room and it was lovely. The housekeep had fresh flowers arranged before my arrival. As I was ground floor I had a beautiful view of the beach and sea. It's spacious and clean. Room service was top tier. I asked for breakfast in my room and it arrived hot I like that you feel like you're in your own home. It doesn't feel like a hotel. It feels like an apartment with Seaviews, room service and class
